The instructor was very patient and gave me a great sense of security. Thank you! The original morning trip was cancelled and postponed to 11:00 AM, and the flight went smoothly. Thank you!
Taking a steamboat ride was a novel experience, and we were lucky to have booked an afternoon session, allowing us to enjoy both afternoon and evening views. The farm has many adorable sheep, yaks, and highland cattle, and the guide provided a very thorough explanation of the farm's history and local ecology. After the tour, we enjoyed afternoon tea at the gift shop; the black tea was delicious! Ken, the working dog at the farm show, was loyal and excellent, perfectly organizing the sheep—he was incredibly cute!
It was a lot of fun, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. The itinerary was adjusted to coincide with the Arrowtown fall foliage season. Our guide, Xiao Hai, was very proactive and attentive in taking photos, and he also explained the local features and stories along the way! Fantastic!
